Marking 31 years since Rwanda's Liberation, this year's convention served as both a moment of remembrance and a platform for vision. Attendees from across the United States and beyond gathered to reflect on Rwanda's transformation, and to explore how they, too, could continue to contribute to building what comes next.
Bank of Kigali used the convention platform to launch BK Capital Fixed Income Fund, a solution tailored specifically for the Rwandan diaspora and international investors. Offering annual returns of 5â€"6%, the fund presents a secure, transparent path to invest in Rwanda's future while meeting global financial standards. Investors can invest from $2,000, withdraw at any time, borrow against it, or even use it as collateral. The fund is certified by Rwanda's Capital Market Authority.
Bank of Kigali also showcased its diaspora mortgage offerings, designed to make property ownership in Rwanda faster and more accessible. Whether building a family home in Kigali or purchasing an apartment in Rubavu, BK provides financing and expert advisory services to make ownership back home a reality.
For diaspora clients, BK's foreign currency accounts, available in RWF, USD, GBP, EUR, and CAD, come with zero maintenance fees, and free incoming transfers. Customers can open and manage their accounts entirely online, through the BK Mobile App or Internet Banking, from anywhere in the world.
'Our goal is simple: to empower the diaspora with real tools to invest meaningfully back home,' said Desire Rumanyika, Chief Retail and Digital Officer at Bank of Kigali. 'Bank of Kigali is more than a bridge, it's your trusted partner in turning belief into action, and action into impact, as we work together to realize Rwanda's Vision 2050.'
BK Foundation was also present at the convention to engage the Rwandan diaspora on the work being done across its three core pillars: Education, Empowerment, and Environmental Conservation. By supporting BK Foundation, members of the diaspora can actively contribute to its philanthropic mission and play a part in social transformation in Rwanda.
Bank of Kigali continues to develop solutions that align with the aspirations of Rwandans, both at home and abroad. The bank emphasizes that the time to act is now. Through the Shora I Rwanda initiative, Bank of Kigali invites individuals to be part of a legacy that will endure for generations.
